Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between DeShawn Robinson (ranked 1698 p4p, 1823 weight class) and Pedro Gomez (ranked 147 p4p, 155 weight class). Gomez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hotel California (Spanish Mix). Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
